Calling all Philly Moms! Don't let the frightful weather keep you and your kids indoors this winter. Philadelphia has a treasure trove of family-friendly activities waiting for you to explore. In this winter edition guide, we've curated a list of delightful experiences that will make the season magical for Philly Moms and their little ones.
Philly is full of amazing museums! Explore Philadelphia's history and inspire your children by visiting a few this winter!

Love the colder weather? Try ice skating or scrolling through a local park! There's so much to do in Philly with your kids!
Looking for something different (and a little spooky) to do on a winter night? We had the best time on the Philly Ghosts: Phantoms of Philadelphia Tour by US Ghost Adventures! It’s a one-mile walking tour through Old City that blends Philly’s rich history with eerie ghost stories - perfect for curious kids and brave parents. We visited landmarks like the Liberty Bell and Bishop White House while our amazing guide shared fascinating (and not-too-scary) stories. My daughters, 10 and 12, were engaged the whole time and even asked questions! Highly recommend this fun, educational experience for families with older kids looking to explore Philly in a unique way.
